PAGASA Says LPA & Amihan to Affect PH Weather Condition
The state weather bureau PAGASA reported that the trough or extension of a low-pressure area will bring rains over most parts of the country.
On Monday (January 9, 2023), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The LPA’s extension and northeast monsoon will affect the country’s weather condition.
PAGASA reported that a low-pressure area may enter the Philippine area of responsibility. It has been last spotted at 650 kilometers east-southeast of General Santos City in Mindanao.
The Trough of Low Pressure Area (LPA) affects Visayas and Mindanao while the Northeast Monsoon will be affecting Luzon.
The LPA’s trough will bring cloudy weather conditions with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Visayas, Mindanao, the Bicol Region, and the southern portion of Palawan including Kalayaan Islands.
The northeast monsoon will bring similar weather condition over the rest of Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region, the rest of MIMAROPA, Quezon, and Aurora.
“Sa ngayon nga, maliit pa rin iyong tsansa na ito’y maging bagyo pero pumasok man o hindi, maging bagyo man o hindi, inaasahan natin na patuloy itong magdadala ng mga pag-ulan sa malaking bahagi ng Visayas at Mindanao, kasama riyan iyong bahagi ng Palawan. Particular na iyong trough o extension nito, maari ring umabot hanggang sa may bahagi ng Bicol region,” state weather specialist Obet Badrina said.
The monsoon will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with light rains over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.
The weather agency has also warned the public for flooding or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains.
Meanwhile, the coastal water condition over the entire country will be moderate to rough.
